i don't think so.. and im quite sure you don't even test your code for flower effect and firework! if you did you will knew that all players in your server would see it...

@pro4never, thx =P lol

/on topic:
If you ask me, the effect code we have already is just fine.
It works right?
Anyways, sometimes you need the statement before the effect - like checking for ping and if the character's ping is high then it won't show for them (how do you do that btw- I just came up with that on the spot).
Why change it?

With this we may able now to use SendScreen instead of using AddSend method to any Effect code that we want... example in my previous CoolEffect UPDATE I used to have this code:
Code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace NewestCOServer.PacketHandling
{
   class CoolEffect
    {
        public static void ActiveCool(Main.GameClient MyClient)
        {
            byte counter = 0;

            for (byte i = 1; i < 9; i++)
            {
                if (i == 7) i++;
                Game.Item I = MyClient.MyChar.Equips.Get(i);
                if (I.ID != 0)
                {
                    Game.ItemIDManipulation Q = new CoPinoy.Game.ItemIDManipulation(I.ID);
                    if (Q.Quality == Game.Item.ItemQuality.Super)
                        counter += 1;
                }
            }

            if (MyClient.MyChar.Job >= 100)
                if (counter == 6)
                    counter = 7;
            if (MyClient.MyChar.Job >= 40 && MyClient.MyChar.Job <= 45)
                if (counter == 6)
                {
                    Game.Item I = MyClient.MyChar.Equips.Get(5);
                    I.ID = MyClient.MyChar.Equips.LeftHand.ID;
                    if (I.ID == 0)
                        counter = 7;
                }
            [B]new Thread(delegate()
            {
                ...
            }).Start();   [/B]
        }
    }
}

I can't understand why would you need a new thread to do this thing....

with this thread I'm not suggesting nor forcing anyone to change there existing code. I only intend to inform you guys that there is an existing code for it.
